It stands out on a highway
Like a creature from another time.
It inspires the babies' questions,
For their mothers as they ride.

But no one stopped to think about the babies
Or how they would survive,
And we almost lost detroit
This time, this time
And we almost lost detroit
This time, this time
And we almost lost detroit

Just thirty miles from detroit
Stands a giant power station.
It ticks each night as the city sleeps
Seconds from anniahlation.
But no one stopped to think about the people
Or how they would survive,

And we almost lost detroit
This time, this time.

And we almost lost detroit
This time, this time.
